The Heartwood oh, death

I'm going to have him bounce since I'm not ready for him to die, but I think it's only fair he does get a good maiming for it all! Having him try to escape and his mind is more or less blanking from the moment. Thanks for the thread hun. <3

Snapping practically on air, a grievous error and the return was tenfold. The other's final lunge saw the red-eyed wolf's teeth render his flesh, the tender area in his haunch, near his belly. It was pain he hadn't experienced before, physically at least--nothing had deteriorated him more quickly than the death of his wife.

He twisted, pulling from the grip of the other but not without the shredding of flesh and muscle. He sneered in pain, his body quaking for a moment as he stumbled backwards. There was no other option now but to run as the adrenaline fueled his body--his mind blank for the moment as he would see himself away from the ashened and burnt grave site, and away from the jaws of the beast so intent to keep it.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. And yet the anger that clenched his heart still gripped tightly, despite the fading of his vision.
